GitHub Account Setup

GitHub is a web-based platform used for version control, collaboration, and code management. It allows developers to store, track, and manage their code using Git, a distributed version control system.

It provides features like repositories (repos) for code storage, branches for experimenting with changes, pull requests for reviewing code, and issues for tracking bugs and tasks. GitHub also integrates with CI/CD pipelines, project management tools, and security features to streamline software development.

We will use GitHub to store our frontend and backend code. But to upload code on github, first we need to download Git.

1. Git Setup

• Download Git from https://git-scm.com/downloads
• Install Git.

2. Setup GitHub

• Open a free GitHub account on https://github.com/
• In the future we will create 2 private repositories to manage frontend and backend.

danger

If you create public repositories on GitHub, it will make your code available to everyone, which is a massive security risk for you and it also violates terms of license.
